GeoCommandTime Alias Library

This is a collection of aliases from the GeoShell Plugin geoCommandTime that you find useful.

To cut down on clutter, please don't try and post aliases for every program you can think of, when all the alias would be is prog,program.exe %s (if even that). I think the importance is placed on function, or the true relief of tedium. (Ie. an alias to prevent typing a bunch of switches AND an IP every time you start a program, or to make a shortcut to a search page, or to interact with a program...)

WARNING If you copy and paste an alias from this page, be aware, that the a linebreak will produce eventually an unwanted space inside the alias

That being said, have fun.

Programs      
Add an AIM Buddy buddy,aim:addbuddy?groupname=My Buddies&screenname=%s PowerRad Use for quickly adding someone to your AIM buddy list. Since you only get one parameter replacement, you might want to designate a buddy group just for GeoCommandTime entries, unless you keep your buddies in one group anyway. Or just put in the group that you're most likely to add screen names to.
Start Half-Life hl,c:\half-life\hl.exe -console -nojoy -noipx -numericping +connect %s PowerRad For Half-Life junkies like me g Just plug in the IP and you'll be connected. This approach'll probably work with most other online games too. Note: In some cases, it may be easier to make a .bat file that CDs to the game directory + runs the game with the parameter (%1 in the .bat = %s in the alias), and make an alias to that .bat instead. Just recounting some trouble someone had on the boards awhile back because the plain alias couldn't find their Soldier of Fortune 2 .cfg files.
Join an IRC Channel irc,irc://irc.dal.net:6667/%s IdiotWind Somewhat useful when you're browsing, and websites/clans have channels on IRC. http://www.mirc.com must be installed for this to work, though it needn't be running at the time (mIRC will start automatically if it's not). You might also want to just use irc://%s, since it gives you freedom over the network you connect to (and it's not that much harder to type "irc network/#channel".
Windows Commands      
Add/Remove Programs arprog,rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl MedlirWiki Opens the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet.
Device Manager devman,rundll32 devmgr.dll DeviceManager_Execute MedlirWiki Opens the Device Manager in XP (possibly 2K).
Map Network Drive netc,runndll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL Connect MedlirWiki Open the Map Network Drive dialog.
Open With... ow,rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %s MedlirWiki 'ow file.ext', Opens the Open With... dialog to open the file specified in an app other than it's default association.
Exit Windows exit,rundll32 user.exe,exitwindows PowerRad Gives a console-ish feel to quitting. May not work on some computers.
Logoff logoff,rundll32 shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx PowerRad Logs off the current user. Careful, this skips the confirmation question.
